Lesson 12
Conjunctive Adverbs and Interjections
A 
conjunctive adverb 
is used to clarify the relationship between clauses of equal weight
in a sentence.

CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS
again
further
indeed
nevertheless
still
also
furthermore
instead
nonetheless
then
besides
hence
likewise
otherwise
therefore
consequently
however
moreover
similarly

An 
interjection 
is a word or phrase that expresses emotion or exclamation. An
interjection has no grammatical connection to other words. Commas follow mild
interjections; exclamation points follow stronger ones. Common interjections include oh;
oh, my; good grief; my heavens; darn; drat; gee whiz; and well.
 Exercise 1
Draw a line under each conjunctive adverb, and circle each interjection.
Oh, no, the wind blew my favorite tree down in the park!
